Host Martin Short played the Grinch, whose heart grew three sizes during the retelling.

Upset, Cindy Lou called her sister, Lucy Liu Who, who appeared as a character inspired by O-Ren Ishii from Kill Bill. Liu sought revenge on the Grinch with a sword, creating a parody of Quentin Tarantino's style. The sketch concluded with a reveal of a fictional movie titled "Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Grinch."
